NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for HYPERSORT.EXE  on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2.  
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  When processing complex file types (i.e.  RMS file  types  for
     which  we  don't  currently  do  our  own  record  packing and
     unpacking), there's no final HyperSort buffer into which an EOF
     marker can be written.

     At end-of-file processing when  the  NULL  buffer  pointer  is
     dereferenced from the packing context the ACCVIO occurrs.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit.
